Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz & Adam Breneman wrap up Week 6 of college football with Miami’s comeback victory on the road against Cal in what might be the statement game so far for Cam Ward’s Heisman campaign. The latest AP Poll has Georgia ranked above Alabama despite the Bulldogs losing painfully to the Crimson Tide less than 10 days ago. Both teams are 4-1 but one lost to the other, so how can that be?

Caroline, Fitz & Adam share what teams, players and even conferences in college football they have trust issues with. Can we trust Oregon’s offense to hold up against Ohio State this weekend and can Nico Iamaleava ever be who Tennessee needs him to be?

Finally, the trio previews some of the biggest matchups this upcoming weekend including Ole Miss vs. LSU & Texas vs. Oklahoma.

Gov. Tina Kotek has called for a pause on automatically registering voters through the state’s Motor Voter law, but that doesn’t mean a person can’t still register to vote.

The deadline to register to receive a ballot for the general election is October 15.

Earlier this week, the state announced it had unearthed hundreds more people than previously known who were improperly registered to vote under the state’s Motor Voter law.

The latest tally includes 302 people identified on Monday, according to an “after-action” report ordered by Gov. Tina Kotek. The latest numbers add to the 1,259 people who officials with the state’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services office and Secretary of State had earlier revealed were registered in error.

Kotek has called on the DMV to pause the process of automatically registering drivers to vote through the state’s Motor Voter law. She also asked for an external audit. Republicans have taken to the issue – which fits into a broader national narrative pushed by former President Donald Trump of widespread voter fraud – and demanded a fuller examination of the state’s more than 3 million voters.

Pausing the Motor Voter program will have no effect on the upcoming election, according to information from the Oregon Secretary of State’s office. There is always a cut off point at which automatic registrations cannot be processed before an election, according to Laura Kerns, with the secretary of state’s office. That cutoff date is always 42 days before an election, so this year it was near the end of September.

Under Oregon’s 2016 Motor Voter law, people who obtain or renew a driver’s license are automatically registered to vote if they submit proof of U.S. citizenship. Drivers can choose to opt out of the system.

Oregon now says that a poorly laid out dropdown menu in a DMV computer program led workers to mistakenly indicate that noncitizens had presented U.S. passports or birth certificates when they had not.

But the state discovered a new error: Another 178 people from the U.S. territories of American Samoa and Swains Island have been wrongly classified as U.S. citizens.

The secretary of state’s office said officials are still reviewing whether any of those people actually voted.

Kotek initially reacted to the motor voter errors last month by ordering an after-action report and directing the DMV to pursue an outside audit of its data handling practices. The agency has said it put new safeguards into place to ensure no noncitizens were being registered.

Monday’s acknowledgment of hundreds of additional errant registrations calls into question just how deeply DMV examined the issue.

The agency has said it began looking into the accuracy of its automatic voter registration process after it received an inquiry in late July.

Republicans, whose questions about the state’s vote-by-mail system increased after the 2020 presidential election, are requesting the secretary of state cast a broader audit.

“She only looked at a small portion of voters registered at the DMV since 2021 and continues to insist that voter fraud is ‘extremely rare,’” reads a statement from Angela Plowhead, the party’s vice chair. “This small sample highlights how widespread inaccuracies in Oregon’s voter rolls are. The urgent need for an independent full and complete audit of the voter rolls is critical to ensure transparency and to reassure Oregonians that our elections are fair and free of fraud.”

Oregon has removed the names of 302 more people from its voter rolls amid concerns about their citizenship, raising further questions about the integrity of its registration process.

Officials announced on Monday that the residents had failed to provide proof of citizenship at the time of their registration.

The move is part of an ongoing effort to address improper voter registration linked to clerical errors at the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

It brings the total number of erroneous registrations to 1,561.

The root of the issue can be traced back to legislation passed in 2019 that permits some non-citizens to obtain driver’s licenses in Oregon.

Compounding this, the state’s “Motor Voter” law, enacted in 2016, automatically registers most individuals to vote when they apply for a new license or ID, regardless of their citizenship status.

DMV Administrator Amy Joyce said: “We believed we had a complete understanding of the records at risk of error. Unfortunately, new information has revealed that our confidence was misplaced, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight. We are committed to transparency and accountability as we move forward.”

In response to these issues, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has ordered a pause on automatic voter registration while also calling for an independent audit of the Motor Voter system.

The request was echoed by Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade.

“The first step in restoring the public’s trust in Oregon Motor Voter is a transparent review by a neutral third party,” Griffin-Valade said, adding that she was confident that the errors would not affect the upcoming November election.

As part of the corrective measures, Griffin-Valade has instructed her office to fill a newly created oversight position within the Motor Voter division and to establish a rigorous process for conducting regular data checks with the DMV.

Of the 302 newly identified cases, 178 involved individuals from American Samoa being misclassified as U.S. citizens, despite the fact that they are U.S. nationals and do not possess the same voting rights.

The remaining cases stem from previously identified clerical errors exacerbated by a newly discovered software issue.

The secretary of state’s office is investigating whether any of the 302 individuals participated in previous elections.

In its report, the DMV outlined a series of corrective actions, including updates to its computer systems, daily quality checks, and enhanced staff training.

Among the previously flagged 1,259 registrations, it was determined that 10 individuals had voted, with at least five confirmed as citizens at the time of voting—indicating that these instances represent a minimal fraction of Oregon’s 3 million registered voters.
